Get married to inmate after prison wedding day

My fiancé and I wanted to get married while he is still at Fort Dix FCI but they only do it once a year and we were not aware. He's going to a half way house in October, will we be able to get married while he's there?

Not gonna happen with a few months left until release.

Not gonna happen with a few months left until release. With that short of a time, why on earth would you want this special day done in the visiting room of a federal prison? Surely you can see that a nicely planned wedding outside of the prison walls would be a better memory.
